Madame Sosten or "Sosthene" refers to Sosthene Falcon's wife Josephine Trahan. Sosthene Falcon is Joe's older uncle. The song deals with Josephine's daughter, Alida, who is the love interest of a much older man. He begs her parents to have her, even at the point of elopement (taking her through the window).
